The Bootleg Family Band are an Australian folk, R&B and rock band created by Brian Cadd and Ron Tudor in 1972 in Melbourne. The Bootleg members were all seasoned veterans of the Melbourne scene.

Their debut single was a cover of Loggins and Messina's "Your Mama Don't Dance". It was released in February 1973 and peaked at number 5 on the Go-Set chart. The second single "Wake Up Australia" was released in June 1973 but failed to chart. The band's third single, a cover of "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)" was released in July 1974 and became another Top 10 hit.

In 1974 the band also appeared in the nightclub scene of the cult Australian film Alvin rides again.

The band was renamed 'Avalanche' when Brian Cadd left for the United States in 1975. ^[1]

In November 2016, The Bootleg Family Band released its first studio album, credited to Brian Cadd and The Bootleg Family Band, titled, Bulletproof.^[2]
